By 8 a.m. the already sweltering
Marrakesh heat follows her through the labyrinthine medina. Decorative lanterns
and pottery and spices of every hue surround her in a dizzying display. She is
fresh from a relaxing bath of rose petals and orange peels. A short distance
away in the square, snake charmers and monkeys amuse the tourists from across
the sea. But she is not one of them. With a good eye, she knows how to get what
she wants, negotiating with the vendors in a language that only they, between
them, can understand.

About Me

I am a painter (formerly based in NYC, now Philadelphia) with a background in biology and fractal geometry. Inspired by the repetition and pattern found in organic forms & textiles, my paintings are the product of a relationship found between science and the everyday. I have two Masters from Pratt Institute (painting and art history) and have also studied in Venice, Italy at the Universita Internationale delle Arte. I live and work just outside of Philadelphia, and am learning to race sailboats in my free time.
